Hi, I have a model Person that has a Bag that has Content. Person has Content as well. A Bag cannot be destroyed if it is not empty. In Person: has_many :bags, :dependent => :destroy # A has_many :contents, :dependent => :destroy # B In Bag: has_many :contents, :dependent => :destroy # C If I destroy a Person with a non empty Bag, I get an error (correct). By swapping A and B the error disappears. (First destroy all Content => all Bags are empy) This is what I wanted, but I could not find this documented, so I don''t know if I can rely on this Do you know anything about this?

Does every "content" belong to a bag? If so, you''re probably trying to delete the same thing twice. You might try getting rid of the dependent statement on #b, and let the bag destroy its contents..

The question is: "can I rely on the destroy order to be the same of order the declaration order?" In other words: can I assume, given class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :bags, :dependent => :destroy # A has_many :contents, :dependent => :destroy # B end that destroying an object of type Person _first_ destroys bags and only _then_ contents? This is already happening, but I am not sure that it is not by accident Mauro -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
